Analyses of fixation times and recognition performances revealedthat while students spent more time fixating on physics quantities than instructors, their memorytrace of the problems was fairly comparable. Likert scales revealed that students found bothtypes of problems to be less confusing and more engaging than did instructors.IntroductionThe major challenge of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education is thedevelopment of pedagogical methods that foster deep learning, expert-like skills, andconstruction of conceptual

This effort is a component of a funded College Cost Reduction andAccess Act (CCRAA) grant from the Department of Education, and focuses on student retentionand development of adaptive expertise. Studies have shown that minority science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM) students leave STEM undergraduate fields in part due to lack ofreal world connections to their classroom learning experiences. Furthermore, in STEM fields theconventional approach is to teach for efficiency first and for innovation only in the latter years ofthe curriculum. This focus on efficiency first can actually stifle attempts at innovation in latercourses. Our response to these issues is to change the way we teach. CBI, a form
